"We have a great support here at BIC," Coach Fowler said. "We are having the Boston butt sale to benefit the athletic program. Tee shirt orders are being taken and we are getting ready for a tournament."

He again expressed his appreciation to the Mustang Club.

"Many schools have individual groups for different teams," he said. "Here we all work well together and everything we raise is spent on all of the kids."

Tracy Routon is taking care of reserved seating at the Mustang Athletic Complex (MAC). Coach Fowler said the blue/gray game will be held Oct. 8 and will be a good time to reserve seats.

Coach Eoff is in his second year at BIC. He expressed his appreciation to the Mustang Club, also.

"The kids attended summer camps," he said. "The senior boys attended six camps and played over 40 games this summer and I commend them. The junior boys attended four camps playing 20-22 games doing a good job. Every player improved. We also played baseball this summer in a Babe Ruth league."

"The cheerleading program has grown," she said. The first of last year we had six senior high cheerleders. This year we have 12 senior high and 15 junior high cheerleaders, along with Big MAC (Drake Pipkins). We are ready for the year."

She received a cheer when she said, "Isn't it great to be a Mustang."

The Mustang Madness basketball kickoff will be held Oct. 8 with a blue/gray game at the BIC gymnasium in Leachville in the morning; 1 p.m. at the MAC on the Monette campus; and the evening games at 5:30 p.m. at the MAC.
